OU/OSU Weekend (1-27, 1-29) Discussion

[TheJackWePack5]

Long 2 week break, but a busy couple of weeks upcoming for the team (OU 1/27, OSU 1/29, WVU 2/3, Pitt 2/4).

OU isn’t great this year. Unranked in Intermat/FLO/WIN dual rankings with zero top 10 guys at the moment. It will be interesting to see if Buchanan wrestles this year (Moore recently dropped down to 184, so I assume it’s in the works). He is an immediate title contender if he does. This one likely isn’t close.

Oklahoma St isn’t their usual top 5, but still a top 10-15 dual team. A pair of top 10 guys (Fix 2 at 133, Plott 6 or 7 at 174). I expect this dual to be pretty close, but we should close it out at 184, 197 and 285. If Casey doesn’t go, it gets real dicey.

I am expecting to see Fuessley at 125 (though I am curious if/when Perryman will use his 2 free matches) and am assuming Casey & Julien will be back for these at 141 & 174.

Any insiders have any insight to injuries at 125, 141, 174 and/or any plans?

Long break, but feels like they could use it. Maybe I'll get more work done this week.

For sure.

Carter Young is shockingly under .500 this year for OSU, even if Casey doesn't go Redding and him will be a toss up.

Carter Young is shockingly under .500 this year for OSU, even if Casey doesn't go Redding and him will be a toss up.

Would Redding 100% bump to 141 if Casey can’t go? Would make sense but I think he’s got an outside shot at R12 if he stays 133, but Ramazan probably does too.

 

[Gantry]

I'm not sure of that, but if Casey doesn't go I would expect Redding to go 141 like he has a couple times before for duals. He can weigh in a slight bit over 133 and still get down there for the following week.

 

[cywr89]

If Redding earns the 133 spot he’s not going to bump up for a dual. He needs to focus on managing his weight and getting into a grove for the end of the season which is more important than winning the dual. I fully expect Casey and Broderson will wrestle next weekend.

 

[Gantry]

If Redding had earned the 133 spot I missed that part, then I would agree he won't bump up. If it's still a back and forth thing, I would expect Redding at 141 if Casey doesn't go.

I'd thoroughly enjoy seeing Buchanan/Bastida in Hilton.
If Buchanan does slot in the OU lineup, it certainly makes that dual look a whole lot more interesting. It still should be a comfortable W for the good guys, but interesting nonetheless.
Looking at who OU threw out there on Sat. plus a possible Buchanan, it would be:
125: Joey Prata (solid)
133: Wyatt Henson (super talented but hasn't fared well so far)
141: Mosha Schwartz (having a decent season, beat Carter Young)
149: Mitch Moore (another very solid guy)
157: Jared Hill (not great)
165: Alejandro Herrera (I think he's bumping up from 157, Carr will slaughter)
174: Tate Picklo (see Wyatt Henson)
184: Keegan Moore (always dangerous, but Coleman should handle him well)
197: Buchanan (if it's not Buchanan, Bastida will rain down destruction)
285: Josh Heindselman (should be a fun one to watch. Sammy looks better than Josh tho.)

Would be more interesting for sure, but would still likely be a comfortable W like you mentioned.

I have 1 Johnny's pass available for OU and OSU. Available for pick up in WDM. Free to anyone who will go and yell like hell! Message me for details.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Keegan Moore has to be 37 years old, right?

When he was a senior in high school I had a Big Ten assistant coach tell me that Moore was going to be a multi year national champion.

They're taken. Go Cyclones!

What happen to the Mantanona boys? I don't see them competing this year

I did see Anthony was a redshirt senior, but Troy was a junior. Neither on the roster this year

Okie st due is at 2pm. NFC champ game is at 2pm. This is potentially a big time issue…..
